I encourage you to add your name to the Art Work, each of us being an Organic Uprising, each of us Standing Up for Nature’s Original Technology. Make a contribution at the Paypal below. The Plant Your Dream Blogs in this series have addressed many subjects, including supporting neighbors determining the best possible solutions for the healthy future of our Arosa Canyon. Through our organic stand on our property I aim through gentle education to influence local policies regarding Roundup Herbicide and Environmental awareness.
ARUNDO DONAX, FOE OR FRIEND?
VIDEO #3 IN THIS SERIES
Arundo Donax I see as a useful plant with more than 102 uses. It grows here. This plant has become a major player in my unfolding story, and in my own life. It has caused extreme financial hardship to neighbors around the Arosa Canyon Rim. Numbers of them used Roundup Herbicide as a way to solve the problem. Roundup herbicide is currently standard procedure as advised by the San Diego Fire Prevention Bureau and Cities everywhere. This plant now costs millions of dollars to eradicate in the world. I see an education project onb our land impacting the way we approach this plant that is now considered a noxious weed. Ultimately I see this plant contributing to many of us regaining our beat with nature. I see these writings contributing to the end of Roundup Herbicide use in America. I see these writings contributing to many of us regaining our beat with nature.

HI FRIENDS AND GOOD NEIGHBORS, FUNDS ARE NEEDED NOW TO SECURE OUR ORGANIC FUTURE ALONG THE AROSA CANYON RIM
Hi Friends and Good Neighbors of the Arosa Canyon,
I am raising funds to hire helpers to continue our Overgrowth Cleanup on our property and along the Arosa Canyon Rim. There is pressure to use Roundup Herbicide. Think Blue. sponsored by the CIty of San Diego, is the effort to raise awareness so we can turn back the use of chemicals, pesticides, and herbicides that are harming children who go into our oceans. I am convinced that the use of Roundup herbicide, a current popular practice by gardeners everywhere, contradicts Think Blue. Roundup is basically an approach to beat the system. It is a quick and easy answer to a labor intensive process; Working in harmony with neighbors and fellow gardeners in the ways we have gardened for centuries that builds health through contact with each other and our earth. We have reached a point in our history where we need to secure our organic future if we are to have one. The earth has always been organic and we are organically grown. Now is the time to adapt and come back to nature if we are to recover our ground and beat with nature. The opportunity is now and the place is here, along the rim of the Arosa Canyon to begin the education process of community building.
OVERGROWTH CLEANUP ALONG THE AROSA CANYON RIM
A SERIES OF BLOGS AND VIDEOS
BY LESLIE GOLDMAN AKA YOUR ENCHANTED GARDENER
..
A DEDICATION TO THIS SERIES OF PLANT YOUR DREAM BLOGS ON THE OVERGROWTH CLEANUP ALONG THE AROSA CANYON RIM
This Plant Your Dream Blog series on the Overgrowth Cleanup along the Arosa Canyon Rim began in Summer in warm weather. Now it is very cold in my room and Winter is outside. This series is dedicated to Henry David Thoreau. In his book Walden, he speaks about The Artist of Kouroo. Here is a quote: “There was an artist in the city of Kouroo who was disposed to strive after perfection. One day it came into his mind to make a staff. Having considered that in an imperfect work time is an ingredient, but into a perfect work time does not enter, he said to himself, It shall be perfect in all respects, though I should do nothing else in my life.”
This quote informs events along the Arosa Canyon, where likely, on December 15, 2011, my neighbors, weather permitting, will be attempting to conquer a bunch of Giant Reeds called Arundo Donax, that have been their consternation for weeks. In the name of complying with codes now set by our well meaning San Diego Fire Prevention Bureau, who knows Arundo as an invasive weed and fire hazard, our landscape here on the Rim of the Arosa Canyon will soon be devoid of Arundo by means of further Roundup Herbicide.
These events have absorbed me for months, as we have spent more than $1800.00 on our own Overgrowth Cleanup and including cleanup up of brush belonging to neighbors along the Arosa Canyon Rim. I have a sense something good will come of all this. Maybe a learning about slowing down a bit in our approach to environmental problem solving. There is still much to learn, and like the Artist of Kouroo, I am taking time here on the Plant Your Dream Blogs to record it.
The landscape may shift soon here. I do not believe the teachings from The Arundo Tribe will soon be forgotten. My spiritual father tells a story of two surgeons in a very important heart operation that involved a very extensive procedure. One heart surgeon takes a deep breathe and closes his eyes. He says to the other, “we must take time, we haven’t a moment to lose.” Something in that message is in my heart right now, as we approach a day of surgery for the Arosa Canyon.

Leslie Goldman, AKA Your Enchanted Gardener, popular internet Plant Your Dream Blogger, speaks to Bill Harris, public information educator for Think Blue, the San DIego exciting project to raise awareness about how our water goes to the sea when we release pollutants down our storm drains and waterways. What is the best possible management practice for our enormous stand of Arundo Donax (Giant Reed) on the rim of the Arosa Canyon near San Diego State University? To kill or not kill it with Roundup Herbicide, initiated this interview with Bill Harris at the El Cerrito Community Council meeting of November 17, 2011. Bill is a lively speaker, a gift to San Diego. Even though this is private land, I see the need for the CIty to step in an help us come up with solutions for our Arundo Donax. Neigbors are under pressure to complain with deadlines and they can feel they need to take action–that may mean using Roundup herbicide that is considered legal now. Bill Harris cares about the future of our kids. Will they be able to enjoy going in the water of our ocean with parents having to be concerned about dangerous runoff from chemicals and other harmful substances? Are we helping the situation by resorting to using Roundup Herbicide in Arosa Canyon, increasingly identified as toxic to human, animal, and vegetable health? Roundup is a popular way kill off backyard weeds, yet Black Plastic, as suggested by the Center for Social and Ecological Stewardship will also work. What is the message from the Arosa Canyon Arundo Donax itself? What is the voice of our Arosa Canyon saying to you wherever you live? This is a story about Arosa Canyon, a story of well meaning Fire Prevention staff and community neighbors coming together. What will a bright green future for Arosa Canyon look like? What are the most advanced approaches in harmony with nature? Arundo Donax is speaking now and says: Let us grow together, man, woman, and plant. I, Arundo Donax, am not a devil plant. I am here to help you live in harmony with the beat of nature. I am here to help you get your beat back with nature.–

Dear Uncle Leslie,
I really enjoyed your presentation yesterday. It uplifted my spirits and made me feel like I had to do something to make our planet better.

You were funny, and you kept us interested. You’ll probable be the man that’ll actually get our generation to do their part in helping rebuild our enchanted garden.
